This man although it seems he is regrettably gone will always divide opinion. Unthinkable results like Stoke away on one hand and the debacle against Oxford so many times on the other. The promise of an all out effort against the Pox, then fields a bunch of new comers on the other hand. Winning the L2, a trip to Wembley will always be well remembered as will the signing of the megga failure that was Magera. then we had Caniogate with the players, while the mourning and sad loss of both parents while he was with us, and we also felt his pain and his hurting and his grief, many of us have been there first hand yet his profound professionalism during this period was also memorable for being equal and above the task at hand. Give us a wave, and he did, give us a smile and he did, give us back some pride, and he did. Put some sense into this club and he did. Clear the snow and call on the supporters to help, inspired, he was. Signings of the likes of Fodders, the insight to elevate Thompson, bring in Storey, play the best and most attractive football seen for years, ditch the booze culture, give players pride and make them not only fight, but make them proud to wear the shirt. Yes he did all that and more, not his fault the world had a financial meltdown. Perhaps if Black had sat him down a year ago things would be different today, ah yes hindsight, worth millions, AFTER the event, but never before.

Whilst I can't fault PDC for walking, I would have thought he would've stayed to see the job out & perhaps get another promotion on his CV, however it's his choice. Would like to see us win tonight (an ugly 1-0 would suffice) & go top, then appoint Nigel Adkins if he's interested, & Being brutally honest we are where we are with the players we have now (minus Ritchie) so with a couple of additions, my opinion is, any manager will be able to see that we have promotion within our grasp & what manager wouldn't want that on his CV, ok, it might not come to that but we have got to be in with a bloody good shout.

Sam, All. There are so many facets to this whole unfolding story it is difficult to know where to begin. In fact there must be a dozen beginnings. Was Paolo right to walk? It is his right, but the timing is wrong for sure. I can understand why he waliked, especially after the Ritchie sale fiasco. How any employer can treat a manager like that is beyond me. To be honest I expected Paolo to quit after JW got the sack. There's another story in of itself. Do I have any faith in the in coming board? None at the moment. I also have gone on the record many times to express my fear that this isn't the real deal. Maybe Di Canio feels the same. Do I think they have 'real' money. No, or they would have fronted up some to keep the manager and to keep Ritchie at the C.G. As I said far to many questions for this space. ps. STILL no news of the 'rubber stamp' from the FL? COYR!

When you buy a company you normally value that company based upon its assets. With our arguably "most valuable" player sold and PDC now leaving the concern must be now that the prospective purchasers pull out of the deal on the basis that the assets / value of the club is significantly different now to it was then, which either means a renegotiation of the sale or worse case administration

Firstly the timing of the resignation is very poor, being as it is on the eve of such a big game, certainly Paolo did not show the level of professionalism I have come to expect. Otherwise he was very right to leave given nobody at the club bothers to let him know what is going on, especially the Matt Ritchie situation. As to who should replace him, I would like to see Nigel Adkin - however nobody can replace Paolo, that is for certain, he will always be a legend among supporters, if not the hierarcy within the club. Any thought about promotion have gone in a flash! For a while messrs Fitton and Wray brought professionalism to Swindon Town FC, now we are back to smock screens and broken promises that make our great club a laughing stock once more.

First of all Louis why are you assuming the takeover will not be ratified and we will go into Administration? Do you know something the rest of us dont? You always seem to assume the worst and that the end of the world is approaching for us Swindon fans...try being a bit more optimistic and less dramatic M8! Secondly, i havent posted yet about Paolo resigning, but instead chose to ponder why he made this decision? So the takeover was not ratified by 5pm yesterday evening, if it had been Paolo implied he would have stayed for maybe another 18 months? I just cant see the logic of that at all, if the takeover is ratified today as the Adver implies then whats the big deal about waiting an extra 24 hours? Something not right here so maybe there is lots we dont know, but i am as gutted as the rest of you about this and wished he had stayed with us! But...this is not the first time he has threatened to leave so it comes as no surprise. In the absence of further information i feel let down by Paolo's decision to leave when we are still in with a great shout of promotion this season, we are now at the business end of the season and anything is possible, he should have at least stayed until the end of this season in only out of loyalty to us fans who have backed him 100% all the way. He has also lost the opportunity to have 2 back to back promotions on his CV, he now looks like a quitter when the chips are down, and i agree with one of the above posters who said he has cut off his nose to spite his face. Anyway we are Swindon so we are used to catastrophies...but i would like to wish Paolo the best of luck in whatever he does and he will always be very fondly remembered in Wiltshire.

As it stands, we all need to calm down, not hold our breath but do what STFC fans have been doing for so long. Suffer the wait and see what comes to fruition. Four things today please: 1) I hope that we have the announcement today that the FL have approved everything. That will be the first drop of oil to calm the troubled waters. 2) Once that is out in the open, Jed and team, please publish your plans and aspirations for the future and include your willingness to ensure the financial security for the club. 3) Sort out the management issue ASAP. Either get PDC back in and fully supported or find us a good strong manager who can carry on the good work. No half options or cheap alternatives. Look where we are now, downwards is not an option. 4) 3 points tonight please. Come the team - you have shown you are professional and capable and can deliver. A win tonight shows your mettle, respect to PDC for what he has done for you and us and shows intent to the League we are not going anywhere but up. I am STFC and loyal.

This man although it seems he is regrettably gone will always divide opinion. Unthinkable results like Stoke away on one hand and the debacle against Oxford so many times on the other. The promise of an all out effort against the Pox, then fields a bunch of new comers on the other hand. Winning the L2, a trip to Wembley will always be well remembered as will the signing of the megga failure that was Magera. then we had Caniogate with the players, while the mourning and sad loss of both parents while he was with us, and we also felt his pain and his hurting and his grief, many of us have been there first hand yet his profound professionalism during this period was also memorable for being equal and above the task at hand. Give us a wave, and he did, give us a smile and he did, give us back some pride, and he did. Put some sense into this club and he did. Clear the snow and call on the supporters to help, inspired, he was. Signings of the likes of Fodders, the insight to elevate Thompson, bring in Storey, play the best and most attractive football seen for years, ditch the booze culture, give players pride and make them not only fight, but make them proud to wear the shirt. Yes he did all that and more, not his fault the world had a financial meltdown. Perhaps if Black had sat him down a year ago things would be different today, ah yes hindsight, worth millions, AFTER the event, but never before.

Wiz, an excellent synopsis and well said. The posts on all the threads, twitter, facebook, all has gone into melt down - so it seems. As it stands, we all need to calm down, not hold our breath but do what STFC fans have been doing for so long. Suffer the wait and see what comes to fruition. Four things today please: 1) I hope that we have the announcement today that the FL have approved everything. That will be the first drop of oil to calm the troubled waters. 2) Once that is out in the open, Jed and team, please publish your plans and aspirations for the future and include your willingness to ensure the financial security for the club. 3) Sort out the management issue ASAP. Either get PDC back in and fully supported or find us a good strong manager who can carry on the good work. No half options or cheap alternatives. Look where we are now, downwards is not an option. 4) 3 points tonight please. Come the team - you have shown you are professional and capable and can deliver. A win tonight shows your mettle, respect to PDC for what he has done for you and us and shows intent to the League we are not going anywhere but up. I am STFC and loyal. I will be there this week, next week, next month and next season. We the fans are STFC. That is all. Nuff said.

If the FL ratify the sale I would hope they will speak to Paolo and bring him back until end if season at least. . If it isn't ratified then we will have bigger conversation than currently. . Piccaretta is the man for the job until we know the FL decision. . Still VERY concerned about the new board but I will put on the blinkers for a few months if it all goes through and worry about them in the summer.

When you buy a company you normally value that company based upon its assets. With our arguably "most valuable" player sold and PDC now leaving the concern must be now that the prospective purchasers pull out of the deal on the basis that the assets / value of the club is significantly different now to it was then, which either means a renegotiation of the sale or worse case administration

Well, Ritchie is now history and it hasn't stopped them. However, maybe they didn't really expect Paolo to resign despite his ultimatum and this could throw a big spanner in the works! We'll soon know.

Whingeing and moaning is not going to help, we need to move on and quickly!. Wizard's post really sums things up quite accurately. Tonight's game was always going to be a tough one even if PDC would have been travelling with the squad, so do not be heavily disappointed if we lose. It will be interesting to see how the STFC players react to PDC's departure? It will be very hard to prise the likes of Martin Allen or Uwe Rosler away from successfull season going clubs. Martin Ling is out of the equation for sad reasons and the likes of Nigel Adkins may not find STFC attractive enough. The board will probably try and get a big name as other past boards have done, but maybe an old head similar to the likes of Graham Turner at Shrewsbury - tough on the training ground but quiet to the press :-) Dietmar Hamann with Michael Owen might be a good double act. I am not really sure and will be interesting to see what others think?

Blimey, what a rabble. Surprised Mike Bassett hasn't been mentioned! Not sure I'd fancy many of these and can't understand why Hockaday and Newell are heavily fancied and guess this is just pure speculation and no real substance to it. Don't fancy Phil Brown and Plymouth turned him down a few months ago but there aren't too many top notch options. Personally, I'd like Martin Allen but doesn't seem to feature.

If the FL ratify the sale I would hope they will speak to Paolo and bring him back until end if season at least. . If it isn't ratified then we will have bigger conversation than currently. . Piccaretta is the man for the job until we know the FL decision. . Still VERY concerned about the new board but I will put on the blinkers for a few months if it all goes through and worry about them in the summer.

Bearing in mind the resignation and scathing public statement, I think we've got more chance of Mourinho managing than PDC right now. Could be wrong of course but would be quite happy to bet my house on that right now.

I'm trying to get my head around the 'Adkins won't take the job' comments, can anyone explain HOW they know this, No1. He's out of work . No2. Why would he not want the chance of another promo on his CV (Ok, so mostly Paolos work, but he would get the credit if he took us over the winning line not Paolo) No3. Once at the helm he could mould the team his way like he did getting Soto'n to the prem, not saying that's where we'd end up but you have to aim at the promised land

Super reds, I am not sure anyone has said that they know he won't take the job, but in my view I think he would be able to command a better job than at Swindon. He has just been harshly sacked after doing a pretty good job for a premiership team and so feel that he should be looking at a top half championship / bottom half premiership job. Not saying it won't happen but if I was Adkins I'd be hoping for better than us.

Given that Jed McCrory and his mates have no real wealth compared to Andrew Black and Sir Arbib, I feel we need to reduce our expectations on who our new manager will be. I think Paul Buckle or someone of that ilk is more likely than Nigel Adkins. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm usually right.

I'm not happy with Paolo he's took the easy way out without giving the new board a chance (if it happens) I will always be grateful to PDC brilliant time for swindon loved it but he's kicked us in the **** and walked away at a crucial time when we are so close. Surely he could put his feelings aside and ride out the season ? As I said yesterday it's the fans that suffer we are here for life the rest just passing through ...2-0 to town tonight

Brentford, i think Louis has had enough of the optimistic side of STFC now as have a lot of other fans. For 3 weeks now we keep being told the take over is just round the corner, the sale wont leave a car crash and we will emerge out of this better. Well i too am fed up with all the failings. My mum told me never to make promises as they are like pie crusts, made to be broken. Untill we are told more as to whats going on people are and still will be down beat. I know Louis from old he has his heart on his sleeve and says it how it is or how he feels it to be. We all want the best starting with 3 precious points tonight.

If Mike newell gets anywhere near the job i'd go crazy!!!! You need someone with same theories as Paolo. ball on the floor, passing and moving. No long ball merchants!!! Will be interesting to see the job Fab does, and if resignation hasnt been accepted, there is always a chance of a come back. I think it will take one hell of a man and personality to carry on thehard work paolo has done. The new board will be looking at a huge drop in interest the way things are going.

Pewsham, Dave Bassett eh ?????, I knew his mate Bertie and they lived in Wootton, LOL. I do think we can seriously kiss good-bye to the likes of any ideas on Adkins, Brown etc, much further up the ladder than to come here and work for a much publicized wonky management team with little or no experience, Roy Rogers usually works with cowboys. Like attracts like, which is how Wray( totally professional) secured the services of PDC. Alan Irvine ? you have to be joking. If Newall comes in many supporters will not, they will shy away until he is gone, and the gate receipts will crash quickly bringing the club down with them. Fabio will go when his master clicks his fingers, at best we have them for a couple of weeks. Bodin, lovely bloke but not the cutting edge that our players will respond to. Big conundrum remains, Jed not yet in charge, and it seems he has already lost the clubs crown jewel. My big question is why did some of the paperwork have to be re submitted, what was wrong the first time, and once more I ask, what are the players tweeting, no news from that direction either ?????

Brentford, i think Louis has had enough of the optimistic side of STFC now as have a lot of other fans. For 3 weeks now we keep being told the take over is just round the corner, the sale wont leave a car crash and we will emerge out of this better. Well i too am fed up with all the failings. My mum told me never to make promises as they are like pie crusts, made to be broken. Untill we are told more as to whats going on people are and still will be down beat. I know Louis from old he has his heart on his sleeve and says it how it is or how he feels it to be. We all want the best starting with 3 precious points tonight.

Thank s Tabs... Just heart broken mate.. Just heartbroken.... Dont know what to think or how to feel. I feel numb inside...... God only knows how the team must be feeling right now......

Afternoon Sam & Andy ! All this talk of a big name manager coming in is going to leave a lot of fans dissapointed . As I commented on in a previous post, the club are in a mess and as someone else quoted , " we aint got a pot to pi55 in " All this talk of Nigel Adkins , you honestly think he would come here ? As for my choice of new manager ? on current form and being able to motorvate players for a big game , for me it woulde be Phil Parkingson , he has done an amazing job getting Bradford to the cup final , and lets face it every game now is going to be like a cup game. My other choice would be Gary johnson from yeovil , again has done a fantastic job on a small budget.

I'm trying to get my head around the 'Adkins won't take the job' comments, can anyone explain HOW they know this, No1. He's out of work . No2. Why would he not want the chance of another promo on his CV (Ok, so mostly Paolos work, but he would get the credit if he took us over the winning line not Paolo) No3. Once at the helm he could mould the team his way like he did getting Soto'n to the prem, not saying that's where we'd end up but you have to aim at the promised land

Super reds, I am not sure anyone has said that they know he won't take the job, but in my view I think he would be able to command a better job than at Swindon. He has just been harshly sacked after doing a pretty good job for a premiership team and so feel that he should be looking at a top half championship / bottom half premiership job. Not saying it won't happen but if I was Adkins I'd be hoping for better than us.

Quite a few are saying we've got no chance of Adkins, that's all, maybe with his credentials he'd hope for better than us as you say, but no-one been in for him yet to my knowledge, all I'm saying is he could look at the bigger picture, get us up this time & mould us into a top half Championship side. Maybe pie in the sky but you'll never know, he's deffo near the top of my wish list anyway

Me too mate. It would be a real coup and I suspect would be a popular choice with pretty much everyone, especially when you look at the motley assortment in the betting list above - just missing Barry Chuckle and Jimmy Krankie.

And also, anything in the grapevine to suggest that the takeover will be concluded today, or is it all quiet on the western front?

If there is no money then we sure as ever won't be buying up the contract of a Manager who us already employed, so that knocks out quite a few of the ideas floated on here, including Gary Johnson (who, incidentally, has only ever succeeded at Yeovil) and Phil Parkinson, whose side has lost almost more League 2 games in 2013 than STFC have lost all season!! No doubt about it, Adkins would be my favourite, but a) would he drop back to League 1, albeit hopefully for just a few months until we get promoted, and b) would our new Board stump up the necessary wages to get him? It would be one hell of a coup but for me it is just not going to happen. A new Manager on the cheap is what I'm expecting. All we can hope is that he can scrape us over the finish line and we regroup for next season.

The truth Is that he has a contract to fill and he has technically broken it. His job is to manage and that means he has no say on what owners do with their money. He should consider the FANS!!! It Is they who bring the money through the turnstiles and pay them a fantastic wage In which some of us dream of. I'm afraid It is a question of ME.ME ME,!!!! This Is the way the world Is also going. In 5 years time there will only be the Premier league left for the Money Moguls!!!!

First of all Louis why are you assuming the takeover will not be ratified and we will go into Administration? Do you know something the rest of us dont? You always seem to assume the worst and that the end of the world is approaching for us Swindon fans...try being a bit more optimistic and less dramatic M8! Secondly, i havent posted yet about Paolo resigning, but instead chose to ponder why he made this decision? So the takeover was not ratified by 5pm yesterday evening, if it had been Paolo implied he would have stayed for maybe another 18 months? I just cant see the logic of that at all, if the takeover is ratified today as the Adver implies then whats the big deal about waiting an extra 24 hours? Something not right here so maybe there is lots we dont know, but i am as gutted as the rest of you about this and wished he had stayed with us! But...this is not the first time he has threatened to leave so it comes as no surprise. In the absence of further information i feel let down by Paolo's decision to leave when we are still in with a great shout of promotion this season, we are now at the business end of the season and anything is possible, he should have at least stayed until the end of this season in only out of loyalty to us fans who have backed him 100% all the way. He has also lost the opportunity to have 2 back to back promotions on his CV, he now looks like a quitter when the chips are down, and i agree with one of the above posters who said he has cut off his nose to spite his face. Anyway we are Swindon so we are used to catastrophies...but i would like to wish Paolo the best of luck in whatever he does and he will always be very fondly remembered in Wiltshire.

I dont know anything buddy... You know i dont.... I'm just venting as others are Nice to see you back on hear buddy... Hope you have a lovely week. Isnt it funny how the lovliest week so far this year Bright Blue skies and Paolo's off...... I still have a smile on my face because we still have an amazing club and brilliant fans...... Just go and look at the Oxford Echo......Oh Yeah...like 3 posts...Hahaha Louis :-))))

He has also lost the opportunity to have 2 back to back promotions on his CV, he now looks like a quitter when the chips are down, and i agree with one of the above posters who said he has cut off his nose to spite his face.
Anyway we are Swindon so we are used to catastrophies...but i would like to wish Paolo the best of luck in whatever he does and he will always be very fondly remembered in Wiltshire.[/p][/quote]I dont know anything buddy...
You know i dont....
I'm just venting as others are
Nice to see you back on hear buddy...
Hope you have a lovely week.
Isnt it funny how the lovliest week so far this year
Bright Blue skies and Paolo's off......

First of all Louis why are you assuming the takeover will not be ratified and we will go into Administration? Do you know something the rest of us dont? You always seem to assume the worst and that the end of the world is approaching for us Swindon fans...try being a bit more optimistic and less dramatic M8! Secondly, i havent posted yet about Paolo resigning, but instead chose to ponder why he made this decision? So the takeover was not ratified by 5pm yesterday evening, if it had been Paolo implied he would have stayed for maybe another 18 months? I just cant see the logic of that at all, if the takeover is ratified today as the Adver implies then whats the big deal about waiting an extra 24 hours? Something not right here so maybe there is lots we dont know, but i am as gutted as the rest of you about this and wished he had stayed with us! But...this is not the first time he has threatened to leave so it comes as no surprise.

Agreed unpcah, but for the past three weeks we've been hearing 'it should be tomorrow' ' ought to be a few days' 'we understand the deal will be ratified the end of the week' and yet still nothing. No wonder Paolo gave a deadline. Does anyone know if the lack of FL ratification means we can't appoint a new manager? Although I suspect no manager would want to sign up until the deal has been completed anyway.

Well done mate, seems to have prompted the FL to respond and surprise surprise no approval today. Wonder why one of the Adver bright sparks didn't think of doing that? They only seem interested in joke suggestions for the new manager.... clueless!!

Paolo's resignation could just be the catylist that strengthens and galvanises this club into an unbeatable force. Or it could be an abherent that makes it all fall apart around our feet.

Once again the football league is screwing with STFC (& with our minds), yes takeovers can take time, but this with no reason for the delay is not good for our health. How long does it take the FL to find the ink pad to rubber stamp this? Desperatley hoping for a win tonight to show all the doom & gloom merchants that we are the best & one step closer to the Championship. The only way is up, COYR.

I see you have declined to answer and have not issued either a statement of intent or alay the fears of thousands of Swindon Town Fans who await your decision. I will ask you before i go to the press that you please under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 disclose the reason for delay. The Club is a PLC and the revenew is provided at the public expense.

it will be straight into administration. Jed and his crew have to prove they have the funds to take the club through not only this period but next season, that's not been the case despite black helping them out as if to say with write offs etc. its not all black and white and the fl have every right to protect STFC, wouldn't want another portsmouth would they. It's simply the funding element that is the problems, nothing to do with Jed and his other interests. Things at swindon are not as rosey as the board like to make out, mr b has done his best to wash his hands and try and hand a mess over, the FL are protecting the club at the moment. As for PDC, it could happen, he could be tempted back, but he knows that this mess isn't going to be sorted today, tomorrow or in a week at this rate. They are borrowing so much to take over the club, there isn't the planning to how this club will survive with so much debt. that's all i am saying, as I said in my first original post, this club will be put under massive financial problems should the take over go ahead in its current form. stand by for some help now with a certain (current) owner joining the group Not saying names! Jed does want PDC, PDC is in two minds, he has possibilities but he is sick of this mess and lies. Can't blame him. If the new owners can pursade the FL that they can repay the debts and run the club (in at least break even status) it would get the approval (although the takeover) should only be granted should the funds cover the take over and running of the club. It's not black and white, where the funds are coming from to run the club haven't been proven. PDC knows it could fall apart and players will be sold left right and centre, or the owners take over and players have to be sold to balance the books.

There could be two good reasons for the Football League taking their time: the obvious one is the need to protect the club and the other one is that they are giving the prospective owners as much time as they need to get everything right. Whatever their reasons, I can't see why any Town fan should object. I suppose the League could just say yes or no without looking at it properly. Who would be happy with either?

Sam, Please show and comment on my emails to the Football League. I'm only asking as a plee from an STFC fan to another in hope we can usher a tad of pressure on the Football League to comply with the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 and disclose the reasons behind the delay. I've asked for all Personal Information to be omitted. There is no reason why they (FL) cannot disclose why the delay has occured. and that would stop alot of Football League fans being confused and left in limbo. Please help us if you can mate. Kind regards Louis Cowdroy

Personally, providing he can prove his worth over the next couple of days, i'd be more than happy to see Picaretta as the new manager. I couldn't think of anyone better. He's already acustomed to the set-up and running of the team, a team that is currently one win from top spot. At least until the end of the season anyway.. let's not make any quick, rash decisions and appoint Mike Newell.

I am happy for the swindon advertiser to confirm I am not from the same address as Gov, (also ignore my name) I am not that person or any relation, that's honest. I have been reading for weeks now all of your posts. I do know some info but I cannot post it here. No one really can, however, it does appear to me that someone involved is spilling beans, it's stuff I am aware of. Like many businesses there is a Need to know and a What you will know, you will never know the full in and outs of what's happening. FL would never spill beans to anyone in email, otherwise surely the Advertiser would of done this several weeks ago. What I have heard is the reason this deal is being stalled does have something to do with Gov's posting, but I have heard (which I will say could be wrong) so treat it as if it is, that Mr Black is financing the take over, via a loan? Now I maybe totally 100% wrong! That's what I have heard.

Personally I think all this talk about when the FL will ratify the takeover is just made up by the media. I cannot imagine the FL have given all these promises for when the process will be completed and then broken them. It is more than probable that the FL have said it takes as long as it takes - I also believe the FL have more than STFC to concern themselves with, as I expect there are quite a few clubs who are teetering on the brink at the moment. As for PDC his time here was great, he had a charisma rarely seen in football managers and was passionate in his beliefs. On the downside he was extremely assertive in his demands which up until last year were by and large met, then the wheels fell off and Black pulled the plug. Did Black sit down and discuss the situation with PDC - I doubt it. The trouble with money men is they are a law unto themselves and do as they please and if that upsets a few along the way tough, my guess is this is how AB treated PDC and PDC didn't like it and eventually walked. As for a new manager personally Paul Scholes would be my shout.

worryingly the Guv may have hit the nail on the head this time, I can see no reason for all these delays unless it 's financial.

Personally I think all this talk about when the FL will ratify the takeover is just made up by the media. I cannot imagine the FL have given all these promises for when the process will be completed and then broken them. It is more than probable that the FL have said it takes as long as it takes - I also believe the FL have more than STFC to concern themselves with, as I expect there are quite a few clubs who are teetering on the brink at the moment. As for PDC his time here was great, he had a charisma rarely seen in football managers and was passionate in his beliefs. On the downside he was extremely assertive in his demands which up until last year were by and large met, then the wheels fell off and Black pulled the plug. Did Black sit down and discuss the situation with PDC - I doubt it. The trouble with money men is they are a law unto themselves and do as they please and if that upsets a few along the way tough, my guess is this is how AB treated PDC and PDC didn't like it and eventually walked. As for a new manager personally Paul Scholes would be my shout.

It makes sense, but why would AB pull the plug and then offer the new board a loan, knowing the debts the club is running at?

Sorry Tomcat, I should have quoted Watkins!

it will be straight into administration.

What I have heard is the reason this deal is being stalled does have something to do with Gov's posting, but I have heard (which I will say could be wrong) so treat it as if it is, that Mr Black is financing the take over, via a loan? Now I maybe totally 100% wrong! That's what I have heard.

Personally I think all this talk about when the FL will ratify the takeover is just made up by the media. I cannot imagine the FL have given all these promises for when the process will be completed and then broken them. It is more than probable that the FL have said it takes as long as it takes - I also believe the FL have more than STFC to concern themselves with, as I expect there are quite a few clubs who are teetering on the brink at the moment. As for PDC his time here was great, he had a charisma rarely seen in football managers and was passionate in his beliefs. On the downside he was extremely assertive in his demands which up until last year were by and large met, then the wheels fell off and Black pulled the plug. Did Black sit down and discuss the situation with PDC - I doubt it. The trouble with money men is they are a law unto themselves and do as they please and if that upsets a few along the way tough, my guess is this is how AB treated PDC and PDC didn't like it and eventually walked. As for a new manager personally Paul Scholes would be my shout.

Good post Tomcat. As regards Black, I don't think he ever wanted any sort of "hands on" role. We hardly heard anything about him until a few months ago, when we found out that he was funding the club's losses on his own. Did I read somewhere that he even had a proxy attend many board meetings in his place? Fitton, Wray and latterly Patey were appointed to do the communicating for him. Enough has already been said about their styles and levels of communication. I don't think I need to add anything to that.

As for PDC his time here was great, he had a charisma rarely seen in football managers and was passionate in his beliefs. On the downside he was extremely assertive in his demands which up until last year were by and large met, then the wheels fell off and Black pulled the plug. Did Black sit down and discuss the situation with PDC - I doubt it. The trouble with money men is they are a law unto themselves and do as they please and if that upsets a few along the way tough, my guess is this is how AB treated PDC and PDC didn't like it and eventually walked. As for a new manager personally Paul Scholes would be my shout.

Good post Tomcat. As regards Black, I don't think he ever wanted any sort of "hands on" role. We hardly heard anything about him until a few months ago, when we found out that he was funding the club's losses on his own. Did I read somewhere that he even had a proxy attend many board meetings in his place? Fitton, Wray and latterly Patey were appointed to do the communicating for him. Enough has already been said about their styles and levels of communication. I don't think I need to add anything to that.

Right, Before we go on tonight why oh why would you think a person like AB would invest in STFC in the first place? Is he an avid footy fan? NO Is he an avid STFC fan? NO So, come on then why?? Anyone??? Lets ne having ya... What do you think sold it to him to be apart of the STFC Consortium back in 2008? ????? Answers on a flippen postcard!! Joke...thats what it is

Something is not right here at all as the FL would have given the thumbs up by now. I'm not convinced this new lot have the funds and i cant see the takeover happenning. This whole fiasco is an absolute joke they have treated the fans and the manager and players with the utmost contempt. They call theirselves business men black and patey and the new consortium well to me they are all total amateurs. I wouldnt be surprised if they have let it stew a bit longer to wind Paolo up so he leaves and get some second rate manager in and if someone like Newell comes in no way will i be there supporting the team . when was he last involved in football but if Jed wants him for Banbury then take him. If our club is going to be run on the cheap then Jed the crowds will go down not up. I dont like anything im hearing at the moment and i can see the team losing tonight and saturday and a slide down the table. I hope im totally wrong but this smells all wrong to me and i m not convinced this new lot have the vision or money to progress this club.

The thing is, that as a long standing follower (as most on here are) we are simply not used to being stitched up by our club. We are accustmed to complete transparency in all dealings and the fact that Black decided to pull the plug when the transfer window opened and all of the players were for sale, was an honest and understandable coincidence. Thankfully our club do not exploit us in terms of entrance fee or the cost of refreshments and our programme is the cheapest in the league. The same commitment and honesty was not in evidence with our departed manager and his lack of expertise, charisma and affinity with the supporters mean he is no great loss and we will soon find someone with far more passion who get extract us quickly from our current, mundane, run of form.

I know we need to tighten our belt financially, but not this guy. Torquay fans did'nt like him despite getting to the play offs & was a joke at the Gas.

I desperately hope it is not Paul Buckle. We can attract a better standard of manager than him - We need to gather our thoughts, await confirmation that the takeover has gone through and take stock of who is available. He doesn't fit the profile of an 'experienced' manager to come in until the end of the season for me - If we have genuine ambitions of Championship football then we need to go for a man with Championship experience. We are an attractive proposition at the moment and a few wins away from promotion - Most managers will be interested in b

The thing is, that as a long standing follower (as most on here are) we are simply not used to being stitched up by our club. We are accustmed to complete transparency in all dealings and the fact that Black decided to pull the plug when the transfer window opened and all of the players were for sale, was an honest and understandable coincidence. Thankfully our club do not exploit us in terms of entrance fee or the cost of refreshments and our programme is the cheapest in the league. The same commitment and honesty was not in evidence with our departed manager and his lack of expertise, charisma and affinity with the supporters mean he is no great loss and we will soon find someone with far more passion who get extract us quickly from our current, mundane, run of form.

I assume this is a joke?

Personally I think all this talk about when the FL will ratify the takeover is just made up by the media. I cannot imagine the FL have given all these promises for when the process will be completed and then broken them. It is more than probable that the FL have said it takes as long as it takes - I also believe the FL have more than STFC to concern themselves with, as I expect there are quite a few clubs who are teetering on the brink at the moment. As for PDC his time here was great, he had a charisma rarely seen in football managers and was passionate in his beliefs. On the downside he was extremely assertive in his demands which up until last year were by and large met, then the wheels fell off and Black pulled the plug. Did Black sit down and discuss the situation with PDC - I doubt it. The trouble with money men is they are a law unto themselves and do as they please and if that upsets a few along the way tough, my guess is this is how AB treated PDC and PDC didn't like it and eventually walked. As for a new manager personally Paul Scholes would be my shout.

Good post Tomcat. As regards Black, I don't think he ever wanted any sort of "hands on" role. We hardly heard anything about him until a few months ago, when we found out that he was funding the club's losses on his own. Did I read somewhere that he even had a proxy attend many board meetings in his place? Fitton, Wray and latterly Patey were appointed to do the communicating for him. Enough has already been said about their styles and levels of communication. I don't think I need to add anything to that.

Right, Before we go on tonight why oh why would you think a person like AB would invest in STFC in the first place? Is he an avid footy fan? NO Is he an avid STFC fan? NO So, come on then why?? Anyone??? Lets ne having ya... What do you think sold it to him to be apart of the STFC Consortium back in 2008? ????? Answers on a flippen postcard!! Joke...thats what it is

Can you forward the postcards on to me please Louis? I'd love to know those answers.

It is more than probable that the FL have said it takes as long as it takes - I also believe the FL have more than STFC to concern themselves with, as I expect there are quite a few clubs who are teetering on the brink at the moment.
As for PDC his time here was great, he had a charisma rarely seen in football managers and was passionate in his beliefs. On the downside he was extremely assertive in his demands which up until last year were by and large met, then the wheels fell off and Black pulled the plug. Did Black sit down and discuss the situation with PDC - I doubt it. The trouble with money men is they are a law unto themselves and do as they please and if that upsets a few along the way tough, my guess is this is how AB treated PDC and PDC didn't like it and eventually walked.
As for a new manager personally Paul Scholes would be my shout.[/p][/quote]Good post Tomcat. As regards Black, I don't think he ever wanted any sort of "hands on" role. We hardly heard anything about him until a few months ago, when we found out that he was funding the club's losses on his own. Did I read somewhere that he even had a proxy attend many board meetings in his place? Fitton, Wray and latterly Patey were appointed to do the communicating for him. Enough has already been said about their styles and levels of communication. I don't think I need to add anything to that.[/p][/quote]Right,
Before we go on tonight why oh why would you think a person like AB would invest in STFC in the first place?
Is he an avid footy fan? NO
Is he an avid STFC fan? NO

Thankfully our club do not exploit us in terms of entrance fee or the cost of refreshments and our programme is the cheapest in the league. The same commitment and honesty was not in evidence with our departed manager and his lack of expertise, charisma and affinity with the supporters mean he is no great loss and we will soon find someone with far more passion who get extract us quickly from our current, mundane, run of form.

I assume this is a joke?

Paul Buckle has just left Luton. Please no.......

I said: Paul Buckle.... Destined for STFC.....just took 2 years to get here...Hahahahahaha You never know!!! Could be amazing for us??

I know we need to tighten our belt financially, but not this guy. Torquay fans did'nt like him despite getting to the play offs & was a joke at the Gas.

So who say's?? You?? Come on,any guy tht comes in deserves a chance buddy did we not just do that for PDC I remember some of the posts about him coming in!!

Yes whoever comes in desrves a chance. I'm just saying that we can do better than him, we don;t want a Gas reject who was sacked.

He was sacked because they are worse off than us.... He has an idea, a plan.... We could do alot worse.... Who's the guy managing Banbury is it???

Hmmm, why am I not surprised to get back this evening and find the takeover not completed. PDC quit over 'broken promises', I think I'm going to quit the Adver over the same. Sick to death of hearing takeover to be completed next week, a few days, tomorrow, today, 'insert new completely wrong timeframe' here. Either their sources know nothing or they are actually the right people but are just stringing the Adver along with false promises like they did PDC. Either way it is ruining any credibility the Adver had for getting info to the fans

Although I understand everyone is feeling as hurt and frustrated as I am, I am a bit bemused by the number of posters having a real dig at Paolo. I don't mean folk questionning the timing, manner etc of him going, more the posters who now only appear to want to slag him off. Yes he made some duff signings - hardly suprising for a rookie manager, however look at some of the real gems he did sign - Sir Wes, Ward, Benson, Collins etc etc. Yes some money was wasted, however he did not set the budgets. ANY manager in the country always wants another player, more money etc for signings, wages etc. Its up to the board to set the budgets. Yes there were some real duffers - but Fergie hardly gets them all correct - Tosic, Veron, Obertan, Taibi etc. Yes some players were let go at the end of last season - I believe some were signed purely to get us out of the fourth division. Yes some were probably signed with Paolo knowing they could not make the step up to div 3 and that they would have to be paid off. However without the offer of a two year contract we may not have been able to attract some of the players who helped us get promotion and could therefore still have been stuck in div 4. I believe its most unlikely that we could have built a top quality div 3 team when we were still in div 4 as many of the players would simply not come that far down the leagues. Therefore what should Paolo have done? Thats not a dig at anyone, just a genuine question? Anyway, sorry to rant, i'm still feeling really frustrated by all this when 6 weeks ago everything appeared to be rosy. Can this get any more messy?? Probably yes - but when I win euromillions I intend to exchange that and sign the real Messi...

Who is Dave Hockaday I see mentioned here? Well he was a great servant for STFC under Lou Macari for many years getting successive promotions and then suffering when we were demoted. He took over Forest Green and turned them into a feared force in the conference with very little money, they are now 2 points behind the leaders. Would do no harm in getting this man on board the STFC roller coaster. COYR's!!
